Chapter 86 Arriving at Huangshui Town
Yunzhi sneered, "Qi Chengfeng has always been honest and simple-minded. How could he have the ability to control you? I think you took advantage of him and forced him to pretend to be a domesticated beastman to earn money for you."
Zhao Wei: "Ah?"
Honest and simple?
Does this describe the Qi Chengfeng he knows?
It turns out that Qi Chengfeng is an honest person in front of them.
Zhao Wei: "I didn't lie, I really didn't lie. Qi Chengfeng is not honest at all. He is more cunning than anyone else. Believe me."
Yunzhi was angry: "If you slander him again, I will tear your mouth off."
Zhao Wei quickly covered his mouth to indicate that he would not say anything more.
Shen Qi understood Qi Chengfeng's nature, so he did not doubt Zhao Wei's words.
He signaled his men to take Zhao Wei away.
He said to Yunzhi, "It seems that Qi Chengfeng and his men's destination is Huangshui Town in the south."
Yunzhi: "Then let's set off immediately and go to Huangshui Town to find him."
Although it is now speculated that Qi Chengfeng left voluntarily, Yunzhi still has to ask him clearly in person. She will only feel at ease if Qi Chengfeng tells her in person.
Chen Qi wanted to tell Yun Zhi that Qi Chengfeng was actually much smarter than she thought, and he was not someone who would let himself suffer.
However, he still hoped that Yunzhi could witness with her own eyes the true side of Qi Chengfeng that he showed to outsiders.
After preparing everything for departure, Yunzhi got on Chenqi's exclusive carriage and started heading south to Huangshui Town.
It must be said that the carriage that Chen Qi used for daily travel was much more luxuriously decorated than the one she had rented before. As soon as she got on the carriage, a faint fragrance wafted from inside.
The space was very spacious, with Shen Qi and Yun Zhi sitting on the left and right, and there was still room for one more person in the middle.
There is also a retractable small table inside the carriage.
Chen Qi took out a small table, placed it between him and Yun Zhi, and asked someone to put various foods and tea on the small table.
Since they set off early, Yunzhi felt sleepy after eating something in the carriage.
Seeing this, Chen Qi put away the small table and placed a soft cushion behind Yunzhi so that she could sleep.
Yunzhi smiled politely at Chen Qi and quickly closed her eyes.
They passed through several towns along the way, and at night Chen Qi arranged for his companions to rest in the town.
Therefore, when she arrived at Huangshui Town, Yunzhi was still full of energy and did not feel as exhausted as she had felt when she traveled far away before.
Looking at the people coming and going in the market in the small town, Yunzhi asked Chen Qi: "Where are Qi Chengfeng and the others now?"
Chen Qi: "The people who followed them said that Qi Chengfeng returned to the gathering place of the wolf orcs, in a village below Huangshui Town. We should rest in the town for a while before going there. However, this time we cannot bring too many people into the village to avoid alerting the enemy."
The sudden appearance of a group of people in a small village would definitely arouse suspicion.
Yunzhi: "Then I'll go into the village with you."
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Okay."
After resting for a while at the market, Yunzhi and Shen Qi changed into the rough cloth clothes worn by the locals, took a horse-drawn carriage, and arrived at the village where Qi Chengfeng was located along the country road.
When they were a certain distance away from the village, Yunzhi and Shen Qi got off the carriage and started walking.
The road was very muddy, and Yunzhi and Shenqi's originally clean shoes were so dirty that their original appearance could not be seen clearly.
This is also the effect she wants.
Yunzhi and Shen Qi planned to pretend to be a couple who came from the north to work in the south. They were looking for a job and passed by the village and wanted to stay here for one night.
You can't be too neat either. At least your shoes should be a little dirty after walking all the way.
They met some wolf orcs on the way. Their eyes were very cold and they looked at Yunzhi and her friends unfriendly.
Yunzhi originally planned to try to strike up a conversation with someone, but was persuaded to give up.
Just then, an old man carrying a basket on his back came over. Seeing that Yunzhi and Shenqi looked very unfamiliar, he asked them, "Are you here in the village looking for someone?"
Yunzhi told the old man what she had prepared, and he responded straightforwardly: "Then why don't you all stay at my house for a night?"
Yunzhi: "Uncle, is this too much trouble for you?"
The old man said, "What's wrong with that? I'm alone anyway. Whether you guys take a rest or not, the house is empty anyway."
Yunzhi and Shen Qi looked at each other and followed the old man to his home.
Although the place where the old man lived was just an ordinary wooden house, after walking in, Yunzhi found that the tables and chairs looked quite tidy, and the yard was also clean. It was obvious that even if he lived there alone, he would clean it regularly.
After the old man's self-introduction, Yunzhi learned that his surname was Li, he lost his wife in his early years and his son in his later years, and he had to bury his young children.
However, none of these things defeated him. Although Mr. Li was already gray-haired, he was still in good spirits.
He brought two glasses of water from the kitchen and placed them on the table. "I just love being with young people like you. My old bones feel a lot younger."
"Don't blame me for being talkative. I'm lonely living alone here. No one usually talks to me. I finally met two people to chat with, so I talked a lot."
Yunzhi took the cup of water and subconsciously sniffed it. Finding nothing wrong, she took a sip and said, "Uncle Li, don't you have any dealings with those people in the village?"
Uncle Li shook his head: "I am considered an outlier here. Those people don't want to pay attention to me, and I don't want to pay attention to those people either."
Seeing Yunzhi and Shenqi looking at him, Grandpa Li didn't hide it anymore: "Our whole village is a believer in the Beast God Temple. I'm the only one who doesn't believe in the Beast God Temple, so I'm ostracized by everyone. But, it doesn't matter if I'm ostracized. Anyway, I'm living a good life on my own."
Chen Qi: "Does the Beast Temple have such a big influence here?"
Although the tribes in the north all have priests sent by the Beast Temple, not all people in the tribe believe in the Beast Temple, and it doesn’t matter even if they don’t.
"There's nothing I can do. We're poor and backward here. The more ignorant a place is, the more it likes to believe in empty things."
Uncle Li smiled bitterly.
Yunzhi was a little shocked.
In such a small village, Uncle Li has a unique clarity, which is so rare.
Uncle Li: "When I was young, my wife, children and I were all devout believers. Later, my wife fell seriously ill, and I begged the people in the Beast God Temple to save her. They gave her a kind of magic water to drink. As a result, my wife died that same day after drinking the magic water. I wanted to ask the people in the Beast God Temple for an explanation, but they turned against me, saying that it was because I gave her the magic water too late, so she could not be saved.
